Sound business strategy.Remarkable prod-
ucts.Dedicated employees.There’s more than
one reason Autodesk thrived in 2001.Much of
our success can be attributed to executing our
three-part Internet strategy aimed at helping
our customers compete in a wired world.First,
we connected our core desktop applications
to the Internet,making it easier for our users
to take advantage of its boundless resources.
We also developed new browser-based and
mobile applications so customers can share
ideas and creations with the World (Wide
Web).And we focused on channeling the Web
to provide more efficiency and collaboration.
Our engineering,sales,marketing,and
operations teams mobilized this year to
increase our value to customers—and it’s
working.New products such as Autodesk
Inventor 4,Autodesk Architectural Desktop 3,
and Discreet’s combustion have received
kudos in their markets.All the products based
on the AutoCAD 2000i platform,introduced
mid-year, continue their momentum as the
key to Internet-enabled collaborative design.
And our user-friendly systems are making it
easier than ever to use Autodesk software.
Our achievements in fiscal year 2001 include
•Discreet’s best year on record
•Internet-based design collaboration with
the AutoCAD 2000i product line and
Autodesk Point A design portal
•New versions of flagship products like
Autodesk Inventor and Autodesk
Architectural Desktop software that provide
a new and better way to approach manufac-
turing and building-design projects
•Mobile and wireless initiatives like Autodesk
OnSite and Autodesk Location Services
to deliver information on-site and on time
•Driving revenue growth while tightly
managing operations for maximum efficiency
